about Cairene

I’m a readiness educator who helps independent creative professionals learn how to improve the administration of their businesses, emphasizing right-brain strategies so clients can succeed and still be themselves.

Which is just a fancy-pants way of saying:

I help people stop hatin’ on their admin grunt work.

Because, of course, there’s nothing grunt-y about it. It can liberate you if you let it. And then, what’s there to dislike?

I’ve been helping arty-types get organized one way or another for more than twenty years, supporting designers and architects, art coaches and gallery owners, writers and teachers, among others. The insights gained from these relationships, along with my own experiences as an artist, are the basis of my current work. I know first-hand the challenges of trying to streamline one’s muse.

I live in Portland, Oregon. When I’m not preaching my message of administrative reconciliation to the creative masses, I’m probably hanging out with my husband and my dog. Or making something.
